Can I attend Carols by Candlelight in person this year?
Yes, although please note that our car park is now fully booked for the evening, so we can only welcome attendees who arrive by public transport.
You are welcome to arrive by public transport; local bus routes serving The Donkey Sanctuary include the 899 Axe Valley Mini Travel and Stagecoach 9A between Exeter and Seaton.
Please walk along the lane and not the road to reach our entrance. It will be dark so please bring a torch.
